Cardiac Care

Overview

Our specialized Stroke and Cardiac rehabilitation programs are designed to meet the specific needs of the individual who requires rehab and medical assistance as part of their recovery from either a stroke or a heart-related condition or hospitalization.

Our Stroke and Cardiac rehabilitation programs both consist of a short length of stay, providing one-on-one rehabilitative plans for each individual in our skilled nursing facility. At Hanover Hill we realize that not only does each individual requiring our care have different interests, lifestyles, and priorities but also different injuries and possible disabilities.

Rehabilitation is a key part of stroke care and can vary depending on the type of brain injuries that were sustained, but typically it should begin immediately after a stroke and provide intense physical and mental exercise and training.

"The atmosphere in the back was so nice; very peaceful and calming, even for visitors, with the fish pond, waterfall, day lilies and water fountains. The regular festivities and especially the weekly summer BBQ's were the best. Having a place for patients to have their hair and nails done, stocked kitchenettes, snack cart and lobby refreshments are all great ideas. The consideration of the patients was impressive."
